Yes, 7.5% commission applied to all resales which will go 100% back to $VIRTUE Stakers.
All $VIRTUE tokens come from the Virtue Bonding Curve. In order to initially obtain $VIRTUE, stETH must be bonded to the Idol Treasury. The team plans to acquire permanent liquidity for the protocol. We have various ideas that will be shared and discussed with the community post launch. We can't predict how the price of the token will trade in the secondary market vs the bonding curve, but in general we expect users to acquire $VIRTUE from whichever source is cheapest.
The protocol involves a keeper function which will calculate how much rewards have accrued so far to each individual holder. As rewards are accrued to the protocol, they will be claimable on the website. We anticipate rewards to be distributed once a day although in the very beginning of the protocol it may be less frequent than this.
- 1.Owning an Idol NFT grants you access to a 100% community owned ETH first project. Our goal is create a truly web3 based community where everyone wins. Plus you get some awesome artwork!
- 2.Through the Virtuous Cycle, additional stETH is bonded in exchange for $VIRTUE. Overtime, this monotonically increases the Treasury, which increases the amount of staked ETH associated with the NFT. Because of this, owning an Idol NFT may grant you the earnings power of more staked ETH than you would have if you staked directly.
